This place is now my home

This place is now my home

The next stop on the tour

Of finding out who I am

I’m on this journey alone

/

This place is actually quite small

Will everything fit in?

This hand-me-down table’s too big

Not too sure ‘bout this at all...

/

This place is cold

Air vent, what the hell?!

Heating spreads only one way

Jumper wearing has increased two fold

/

This place is dated

Pay as you go electric meter?

And what are these strange marks?

Maybe I should have waited...

/

This place is actually not that bad

There's a spot for all my hoardings

And there’s even room for a desk

Maybe I won’t become a nomad

/

This place is starting to take shape

Connections with giveaways galore

Loved ones round to make it more homely

Sticking down the rug with tape

/

This place is now safe

Everything is in situ and will stay

And visitors have approved

No longer feeling like a waif

/

This place is now my own

The space to allow me to recover

And new experiences to uncover

I realise now I am not alone

As this place is now my home
